As am I....I still don't think there is a very large market at this point for say 50K+ EV that struggles (assuming) to go 300 miles per charge. There is still a lot of conservative buyers out there and given how people are viewing the economy and the future, I'm not sure how many people will be willing to vote with their dollars on something like this.

The issue is the market never took off-in a vacuum this looks bad for Ford, but its not like other makers aren't experiencing the same issues and having the same drawback in products. The only upside is that is Ford has another production plant it prob could have used for the past 15-20 years and EV products cancelled are being replaced by other products.

I'm guessing it was being driven by the T3 EV development. I'm also thinking its part of "simplifying" and cutting down on wiring harnesses and using software defined architecture vs what they've been doing.

Or it will be a complete dud

The Mach E was a EU compliance product foremost. As for Ford, do keep in mind Ford is leader in selling to fleet segment worldwide (Transit and F-series) and its primary focus isn't on selling smaller cars (that at least in North American market) they aren't going to focus on that when other products they do make and are successful at are going to be the primary focus for them. I think Ford is willing to give up the smaller product markets because the profit potential isn't as great as say the transit or F-series is.

They would sell tens of them....

Ford Plans an ‘Affordable’ Gas-Powered Truck That’s Not the Maverick. How Will That Work?

This Tuesday: See How Ford’s ‘Bounty’ Culture Will Deliver Affordable EVs

More teasers https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUqls9MkXNc/ If that airflow graphic is anything close to the production truck, it sure sits up a lot higher then I expected

Only two compact trucks for sale in the US Market and that will be down to one in about 18 months or so. Then again it might be two, since CE1 is supposed to slot in above the Maverick and be smaller then the Ranger.

The F-150 got a refresh after the Ranger was shown off (but was delayed due to host of different reasons) The Maverick got a refresh and the Bronco Sport did also...not new but refreshed. Ford hasn't had a completely new product/nameplate since 2020/2021 or so, with the Bronco, Bronco Sport and Maverick. COVID royally screwed up things and Ford EVs plans just compounded that.

I'm gonna guess its going to look like a mash up of the coupe styling with 4 doors on stilts if it is a Mustang branded product. Sorta like those photoshops renders of the Camaro/Corvette CUVs you've seen over the years.

Some more numbers Honda CR-V Is Now The Top 2022 Ford Maverick Conquest 2022 Ford Maverick Buyers Coming From Honda And Toyota So I'd be willing to bet that at least 60% of the conquest sales are made up of those two products.

Ford offers custom paint jobs on the Mustang GTD and I think the ability to lock out other people from using it. Forget how much they where asking for this option

Yeah I was looking at the Mach E as my next car in a few years Though it wouldn't take much to buy a Mustang Sedan either LOL
